FINAL DAWN
KAL'SHEBBOL , OUTER RIM TERRITORIES

The Predator emerged from hyperspace arriving in orbit of the Outer Rim World of Kal’Shebbol, the site of a Major Final Dawn-held Space Station which served as the Headquarters of the 6th Sector Fleet and as one of the Final Dawn’s Major Bases in the Outer Rim. Upon arriving, the Predator made its approach to the Space Station which was surrounded by half a dozen Pellaeon-III Star Destroyers of the 6th Sector Fleet and currently housing a docked First Order Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer, the Oblivion which was undergoing repairs.

According to reports from the Politorate, a Final Dawn Surveillance Ship, the FDS Navigator had an encounter with the Oblivion which had emerged from hyperspace in front of the Surveillance Ship with signs of heavy damage which included its Hyperdrive. After sending a team of technicians to assist the damaged First Order Star Destroyer in repairing its hyperdrive, both ships were suddenly attacked by an unknown force of starfighters and small ships presumably from some resistance group active in former First Order Space. Nevertheless the Oblivion’s Hyperdrive was repaired in time and together both the Oblivion and the Navigator fled towards Kal’Shebbol, the closest Final Dawn Base available.

What had attracted the Grand Overseer here were the specific reports that the Commanding Officer of the Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer, Admiral Dins did not treat the Navigator with hostility despite the Final Dawn’s well-known affiliation with the Brotherhood of the Maw. This meant that the Admiral was a freshface in the First Order considering he was most likely not aware of the ongoing Second Great Hyperspace War. Thus once he received confirmation that the Oblivion was still at Kal’Shebbol, Sularen immediately boarded his flagship and set course for the Outer Rim World, leading to this moment.

As the Predator continued it’s slow approach towards the Final Dawn Space Station orbiting Kal’Shebbol, a single Shuttle emerged from it’s ventral hangar and accelerated towards the docked Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer known as the Oblivion, soon coming to rest within one of it’s hangars after a few minutes. Soon enough, a single individual wearing a Crimson Red Imperial Uniform emerged from the Shuttle flanked by 4 Cybernetically-enhanced Soldiers proceeding to approach a First Order Officer that came to meet him. “I’m Marlon Sularen, Grand Overseer of the Final Dawn. I have an appointment with your commanding officer, Admiral Dins.” Sularen said. It was time he finally met the First Order Admiral who collaborated with the Final Dawn and perhaps make good use of him for his plans in the Core Worlds.

In the hangar, a squad of stormtroopers and an officer were present as a shuttle landed.
One of the officers came forward. "Hello Grand Overseer Sularen. Welcome aboard the Oblivion. Admiral Dins is in the bridge, we will provide escort." He said. The officer turned around, and the stormtroopers followed suit.

"Hello Grand Overseer Sularen. Welcome aboard the Oblivion. Admiral Dins is in the bridge, we will provide escort."

Sularen gave no response as the the Officer turned around followed by the First Order Stormtroopers with Sularen and his Raptor Commandos following suit as they headed towards the Bridge. The Interior Design of the Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer was similar to that of his own flagship, the FDS Predator not to mention the Stormtroopers, Officers and Ship Personnel which often crossed paths with the Sularen's escort. These were Neo-Imperials just like their counterparts in the Final Dawn, yet their Superiors saw the Final Dawn, also a Neo-Imperialist Power as an enemy which had to be destroyed. Attempts to recruit officers from the First Order were quite unsuccessful but Sularen still made things work out in the end.

Eventually Sularen and his escort would soon arrive at the entrance of the Bridge, finding Admiral Dins standing at the other side of a holotable directly in front of him. Upon spotting the First Order Admiral, Sularen headed towards the holotable to greet his host. "Admiral Dins. It's a pleasure to meet you." the Grand Overseer said as he positioned himself on the side of the holotable directly opposite to Admiral Dins.

"Ah, hello Grand overseer Sularen." The admiral replied, nodding. "I'm assuming you want to discuss things, so let us begin." He looked at the lieutenant and said something to him. The lieutenant nodded, and turned to exit the bridge. Dins then turned back to face Sularen. "So, why exactly did you want to talk?" He asks.

"Ah, hello Grand Overseer Sularen. I'm assuming you want to discuss things, so let us begin.So, why exactly did you want to talk?"

It seemed that the First Order Admiral was quite straightforward getting straight to business. Nevertheless this didn't bother Sularen, after all it would save him some time anyways. Thus Sularen proceeded to respond to the First Order Admiral after a few seconds of thought. "Well Admiral Dins. I must say i was quite intrigued to learn about your encounter with the FDS Navigator in the Southern Outer Rim which was rather quite unusual considering the current state of the Galaxy." Sularen began. "Nevertheless, i'd like to begin with a simple question. What do you know about the Galactic Alliance?"

"To be honest, little to nothing about it." He said. "Though I am grateful that you showed hospitality towards me and my crew. Nonetheless, I would like to know what it is, so please, enlighten me. What exactly is the Galactic Alliance?" He asked. He assumed the Galactic Alliance was a faction similar to the Resistance or the already dwindling New Republic.

As expected, Admiral Dins knew nothing about the Galactic Alliance shown with his mention of the Resistance during the Navigator’s encounter with the Oblivion. At that point the Grand Overseer was starting to wonder if the Admiral was from this time period or had somehow traveled forwards in time through unknown methods. Nevertheless regardless of such, the Admiral’s lack of knowledge would be key in securing his allegiance to the Final Dawn.

“Well in simple terms the Galactic Alliance is a lightside-aligned Democratic Government that currently controls the Deep Core, the Core Worlds and parts of the Colonies, Inner Rim, Expansion Region, Mid Rim and the Unknown Regions.” Sularen began. “They currently house their own sect of Jedi known as the New Jedi Order and trace their lineage to the Old Republic from the Clone Wars era as well as the original Galactic Alliance, which was the successor to the New Republic.”

“Although I must ask, Admiral Dins. There is something else I'd like to know from you. What was the last battle you fought in prior to your encounter with the FDS Navigator and who exactly do you think is the incumbent Supreme Ruler of the First Order.” Sularen asked.

As the grand overseer spoke, admiral dins was paying close attention to these groups. The mention of Jedi confused him. He thought they were wiped out in the great jedi purge. "The last battle we fought was an attempt to destroy remaining Resistance forces. We had three destroyers, but we realized that we were outnumbered when we intercepted the fleet, only to be met with more fighters than anticipated." He explained. "We destroyed most of them, but by then the Oblivion was the only destroyer remaining, and we were still outnumbered. And we have not found a new supreme leader yet. Right now, the highest military rank leads the Order."

"The last battle we fought was an attempt to destroy remaining Resistance forces.

We destroyed most of them, but by then the Oblivion was the only destroyer remaining, and we were still outnumbered. And we have not found a new supreme leader yet. Right now, the highest military rank leads the Order."

"Very interesting." Sularen said in response. At this point the Grand Overseer was definitely certain that Dins wasn't from his era, as the current iteration of the First Order definitely had a Supreme Leader in the form of Natasi Fortan who had brought the First Order back into a period of brief resurgence in Galactic geopolitics before it once more withdrew from Galactic Affairs and isolated itself from the Galaxy. There was also the mention of the Resistance, an organization which did not appear to exist in any modern records but could potentially be a mention of the Resistance that fought the original First Order centuries ago.

Nevertheless this confirmed that Cristan Dins had somehow been transported over eight hundred years into the future, but as a servant of the original Radical Neo-Imperialist Junta that was the First Order rather then it's more progressive iterations that have existed in the past decades. With this in mind the Admiral could possibly fit in with the Final Dawn and perhaps even embrace it's Neo-Imperial ideology due to the similarities between the Final Dawn's and First Order's ideology. But most importantly, Sularen would have yet another Senior Officer to fill the ranks of his growing Shadow Hand Command in preparation for his magnum ops : Operation Frozen Hand

"I have one last set of questions for you Admiral Dins before we can move forward with the main topic at hand. Tell me, what do you think about the Resistance, the New Republic and it's predecessors in the form of the Rebel Alliance and Old Republic as well as the Jedi themselves whom i am certain you have encountered or heard of before?In addition what do you think about those who'd like to live up to the legacy of these organizations and follow in their footsteps?"

"I am fully against anything relating or helping the Resistance and the New Republic. I also believe that any sort of organization that is against the views of order is wrong, and they need to be stopped." He replied. As the two talked, the bridge crew were busy trying to get in contact with other First Order personnel. He assumed they were having some difficulties due to the fact that they were far from First Order occupied regions.

“Good to hear, Admiral.” Sularen said with a smile. “Now, before we go any further there are some things i’d like to share with you first” Sularen then proceeded to take out a small holodisk from his pocket and inserted it into the holotable. Soon enough a new map appeared showing a portion of the Southern Outer Rim with a few planets being labeled with the symbol of the First Order. “A lot has changed in the Galaxy since the First Order’s collapse, Admiral Dins. Although things might be different from what you’d expect.”

“This is what’s left of the First Order, reduced to a rump state in the Outer Rim centered around the Worlds of Dosuun, Mephout, Seoul, Needan and Absit, with Dosuun now acting as the Capital of the First Order or at least what’s left of it which has fallen under the leadership of a certain Natasi Fortan who has taken command as the Supreme Leader of the First Order.” Sularen began. “The First Order that you knew is gone, now controlled by a bunch of moderates who have rejected the traditional ideas of Neo-Imperialism and have even compromised with factions who outright oppose the ideas of Neo-Imperialism such as the Galactic Alliance which i mentioned earlier, who represent everything you oppose.”

“The First Order at this point is frankly a lost cause, Admiral. But there is hope in the Final Dawn, in which I am a part of as one of its highest-ranking members. The Final Dawn shares a similar ideology and structure as the First Order you once knew and unlike the First Order of the present day, we have no tolerance for those who oppose the ideas of order and stability across the Galaxy and more importantly we are at war with those same people, the same people who oppose the ideals of order and stability and whom the First Order has compromised with.”

Those words shocked Dins. He didn't believe this was true, but he accepted the truth in every situation. "Then if the First Order has become my enemy, then so be it." He replied. The Final Dawn sounded just like the First Order, but with extra steps. "The Final Dawn.......it sounds like the First Order in a way. " He said. "Excuse me asking, but are you in need of any sort of any new personal? I have Navy experience and would be honored to be a part of the Final Dawn." He said.

Sularen smiled. Everything had gone just as he planned and now Cristain Dins was ready to join the Final Dawn, a fine addition to its Navy. The best part of it was that what Sularen had said was indeed true, about the state of the First Order and its ties with the Galactic Alliance. The only thing the Grand Overseer had hidden from Dins was the existence of other Imperial powers such as the New Imperials. the Eternal Empire and the Elysium Empire although it wouldn't be hard to dissuade Dins from ever thinking of them as potential allies.

“The Final Dawn always welcomes like-minded individuals seeking to join its ranks with open-arms, '' Sularen began. “In addition, i can ensure that you can retain your rank of Admiral within the Final Dawn Navy as well as provide your ship with modifications that will make it even deadlier on the battlefield as well as a new fleet for you to command considering your old one was destroyed during your encounter with the Resistance. What say you, Admiral Dins?”

"I say glory be to the Final Dawn." Dins replies, nodding. He allowed himself to smile, even though it might seem disrespectful, a light hearted smile. "I am willing to allow modifications to the Oblivion. My crew of technicians shall also pitch in with such modifications." He added.

“That’s good to hear, Admiral Dins” Sularen said in response. “I look forward to working with you in the Near-Future as with your help the Final Dawn will be one step closer to bringing absolute order across the Galaxy and finishing what the First Order had started. I guess we can safely conclude this meeting unless you have any other things you’d like to discuss. Yes?”
